I'm getting the feeling that DOGE is just becoming a dumping ground for anyone Trump promised favors for.
- In this case I think it was also to get her to shut up about Matt Gaetz.
  
  If only they could just get her to shut up, full stop.
- Fake departments don't need confirmations. Maybe he'll stick Gaetz in there too.
- The Department of Government Efficiency needs more people then the United Nations.
- Department of Transportation.
Is this a position she needs to resign from the House to do, because that would be awful! /s
- Nevermind the GAO is already a thing. But three trolls think they know how government should work...
This is how he gets rid of musk
- I can very easily see it as a staging ground for more back door fundraising/corruption, a lauch pad for future Congressmen/Governors/etc, and a way of trial ballooning propaganda before bringing it live
It would be another hilarious bit of the White House Reality Show Sequel, if the Department of Government Efficiency board just kept growing and growing with people that wanted a cool title from Trump to feel important.
you'd think the most efficient thing for the government to do is not pay her for useless roles on the expense of tax payers
